Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes

DROW HOUSE CAPTAIN

Each drow noble house entr usts the leadership of its

military forces to
a house captain, a position normally

held by the m
atriarch's first or second son. The house

captain
commands the drow and slaves making up the

family's army and has made extensive study of strategy

and tactics to become an effective leader in battle.

DROW INQUI SITOR

Drow
expect treachery. After all, the Spider Queen

encourages it. A certain amount of backstabbing and

double-crossing can be managed, but too much can

und
ermine an entir e community. To keep some sem-

blan
ce of order and to root out traitors, drow pr iestesses

employ inquisitors. Chosen from the ranks of the priest-

hood, these female drow possess authority equaled only

by the matrons of the noble houses. Anyone they decide

is at odds with the hierarchy faces torture and
usually

an excruciating death.

VARIANT: YOCHLOL SUMMONINC

Some drow inquisitors have an action that allows them

to

summon a demon.

Summon Demon (1 / Day). The

drow attempts to magi-

cally summon a yochlol, with a SO percent chance of suc-

cess. If the attempt fails, the drow takes 5 (ldlO) psychic

damage. Otherwise, the summoned demon appears in an

unoccupied space within 60 feet of its summoner, acts as

an ally of its summoner, and can't summon other demons.

It remains for 10 minutes, un

til it or its summoner dies, or

until its summoner dismisses it as an action.
